DID KHRUSHCHf V WIN CUBA?
As the po&t-election weeks
come and go and' the political
oses of the Cuban arid* fade more
into the background, the nation
needs to restudy the whole Cuban
experience. Whereas the showdown appeared to bring victory
both political and diplomatic for
President, Kennedy, it appears
more and more as the cheers subside to be in fact a guarantee of
Cuba to the Communists. To say
the very least, the latch key was
left hanging out for Khrushchev
when the President offered yds
"assurances" against any invasion
of Cuba.
At this writing, the President
has not se«n fit to interpret this
guarantee to the American people, a thiag which he mort certainly needs to do. Was this
meant to be only a description
of traditional American policy,
«j«at is, that this nation is not in
the habit of invading its neighbor? Surely, Mr. Khrushchev has
known of our traditions (which
he often refers to as "warmo,v
gering"), but this time he apparently realizec': that his own
actions were providing a very
suitable pretext lor an invasion
of Cuba.
A Qukk Deal
The world is familiar with the
rattle of Soviet rockets over the
cobblestones of Moscow on May
Day. This time, however, the Russian premier by merely setting
up some of these missiles in Cuba
and rattling them under our
noses, won the permanent visa
to Cuba that he so much wanted.
Cuba therefore remains a Soviet
satellite, armed with everything
else but these particular missiles.
It aeems very clear that Khrushchev is a past-master of the quick
deal, for he usually comes out
• little ahead of anybody who
assumes the "no-wir/' posture.
What we ought to fear most—
and we must emphasize that
tfci-re is no new threat here — is
tai, base not for missiles but for
propaganda, subversion, ami infiltration that win exist as long
as Castro (" a Mtjrxist-Lnnninist
until the day I die") is in charge.
This is part of the Cold War, but
Air a generation our government
has refused for the most part to
face up to the necessities of this
kind of warfare. Unless we demand that Khrushchev dismantle
the whole Castro regime, we are
losing the Cold War with Cuba
aad the Oommunists at well.
The lacking Away
Perhaps Mr. Kennedy, who has
once reversed his direction to
pursue a policy of action instead
of inaction, of strength instead
of weakness, could conceivably
do it again. The #usb of political
victory and of almost unanimous
freoworid approval of his blockade will not be enough to put us
oat ahead in the Cold War. For
America to hold the approval of
the free world, there will have
to be an end to beckpedaling and
concessions. Instead of a quick
return to a no-win policy, let us
make plans to take the initiative.
If an excuse la needed for re-
own-in* the discussion with the
Sot^st Union, wo might use the
approach suggested by Former
Ambassador William D. Pawley,
who knows Latin American problems. His tugfnatter was that
Russian jtatemeate mode in New
York in esrly November by their
Mr. Mikoyan supporting Castro^s
demand for wiihdiwwei from
Guautanamo had already Justified cancellation of any implied

Adult classes on welding and
ranch problems will be offered

DUGOUT PROJECT
R90RT1SMADE
Besaodeliiig and renovating the
Dugout has been realized as one
of the most worthwhile projects
carried on in Big Timber of recent years. Nearly forty local
organisations and business houses have contributed material,
cash or labor to make it a usable
meeting place; open and free to
all for the asking.
With the initiative of the Woman's dub, the' kitchen has been
furnished, chairs and curtains
added, pfumbing installed, heating arraasements changed and
countless additions completed.
The Wosaan's dub la happy
that so many groups and private
individuals are making use of the
Dugout
They are making a special plea,
however, to those who use it.
Abuse of the privilege has been
noticeable. One of the conditions
of its use is that users dean up
after themselves; because of this,
it is free. The Woman's chib
wishes to remind users that there
is no janitor service. Leave it
dean so that the next user will
also find it dean.

Upshaw ssid that several utilities have expressed interest at his
suggestion for a momentary shut-

Tim Babcock and his official

opening of the 1064 celebration.
The act will set off a year-long

DUGOUT PROJECT
R90RT1SMADE
Besaodeliiig and renovating the
Dugout has been realized as one
of the most worthwhile projects
carried on in Big Timber of recent years. Nearly forty local
organisations and business houses have contributed material,
cash or labor to make it a usable
meeting place; open and free to
all for the asking.
With the initiative of the Woman's dub, the' kitchen has been
furnished, chairs and curtains
added, pfumbing installed, heating arraasements changed and
countless additions completed.
The Wosaan's dub la happy
that so many groups and private
individuals are making use of the
Dugout
They are making a special plea,
however, to those who use it.
Abuse of the privilege has been
noticeable. One of the conditions
of its use is that users dean up
after themselves; because of this,
it is free. The Woman's chib
wishes to remind users that there
is no janitor service. Leave it
dean so that the next user will
also find it dean.

Plans Progressing
For Centennial
Helena — Lights go out for
anybody on New Year's Eve?
They may blink for al Montaav
ans a year from now as 1064
dawns. That may be one way the
Treasure State's Territorial Centennial is heralded.
Although the celebration is a
year away, the Montana Centennial Ccaanusakm is approaching
a. vital period in its pUnsnngv
Director L. W. Upshaw of Great
Falls notes.. Scheduled to be presented . to. Montana's legislative
session this month is the commission master plan. Legislative
co-operation and an appropriation to send planning into detailed stages wiH be asked. Citizen committees in every Montana county have raised funds
to finance preliminary work,
which, has been going on for
more than a year.
Kipieining the blinking fights;.
Upshaw ssid that several utilities have expressed interest at his
suggestion for a momentary shut-
off of lights in Montana after
midnight on the first day of 1064.
Later the same day, if plana
are approved,, the Montana Centennial will get nationwide attention at the annual Tournament
of Roses in Pasadena, Calif. Plant
call for an all-Montana band and
float to be in the mammoth parade at Pasadena, while Governor
Tim Babcock and his official
party participate. It will be from
Pasadena .just 64 seconds after
midnight that the governor will
flash a signal making the official
opening of the 1064 celebration.
The act will set off a year-long
series of community and statewide celebrations, observance!
and colorful pageantry. An estimated 60 million TV viewers will
hear about Montana's "birthday*9
from the Tournament of Roses.
While it was in 1864 that
President Lincoln signed the act
that created Montana Territory,
